This story is excellent! - I love the way all three of the Winchesters are portrayed here!

LOVE the portrayal of the relationships here. Wonderfully done

This was excellent! The characterisation was deftly accomplished and I loved Dean being willing to read the paper for his brother's sake even though it was the last thing he wanted to do.

Another really excellent story. You have the characterisations so well drawn. Nothing is too cliched and yet they each have the little foibles we get to see on the show. Poor Dean, caught eternally in the middle - and Sam, so young, but striving to escape. And I really like your John - thank you for not turning him into a pantomime villain. Brava.

This story was awesome. I'm so glad I found it. I loved your version of teenage Sam and Dean and then of John. It was really refreshing compared to a lot of stories on here. The Winchesters were really well rounded. They weren't entirely bad or entirely good but normal. I loved it. Now, I have to go back and read more of your stories, definately adding this one to my favorites. Good job.

great story!

So cool when you write something and months later the series gives you an episode that is totally in sync with what you imagined. The relationship shown in Dead Man's Blood is exactly what you've shown us here! I'll be looking for more of your stories.

This was delightful. I loved the banter between Dean and his father, and I could even enjoy the anger between the boys (although all the anger was a bit too much like having a teenager in the house again...which says good things for your writing if not my stress levels!)

An excellent story--thank you so much for sharing it!

Excellent job! This story had some of the best dialouge I've ever read in a Supernatural story. Hope to hear more from you soon!

Loved , loved LOVED this ! Great stuff, it's nice to see a portrayal of Dad that doesn't have him drunk and abusive, pretty realistic portrayal of a 13 year old too- I know, I have one!

Ah, that was absolutely brilliant. I'm not so sure why I loved it so much, but it was just.. just.. I don't know! Well gee, you've made me speechless. You should be proud, this doesn't happen often (and when it does, you should be glad for it.. lmao).

But I loved it, especially Dean and 13 year-old Sammy. Aw, so cute - both of 'em.

Simply stunning.

This was wonderful. I loved the interaction among all of the Winchester men. I liked Dean trying to figure out what was really going on with Sam and then doing what he could to help make things right between Sam and John. And I liked John's willingess to do what needed to be done - even in his frustration with Sam.

Ha ha ha. Cool. Catch ya on the flip side.

Great story, Mariner. I think your stories come the closest to depicting what life with John must have been like. I love the roles you've assigned each man. The humor and sarcasm really round it all out.
Thanks for sharing,
